We talk about wildlife a lot. They’re kind of a big deal when it comes to what national parks preserve, protect, and share with the world.

We also talk about safety. A lot. Because keeping wildlife safe around you, and keeping you safe around wildlife, is generally considered a good idea and saves on the paperwork. 

So, as part of our National Park Week wildlife emphasis, we’re revisiting some of our favorite, most tried-and-true tips, reminders, and plain-spoken advice about the relationship between wildlife and you.

Because wildlife is wild. Even if you consider yourself the world’s greatest animal whisperer, they did not sign up for the conversation. Please act accordingly. And enjoy their magnificence.
